It was a small and cosy affair as guests and members of the press were invited to an exclusive lunch event with Pirelli last Thursday prior to the F1 Singapore Night Race weekend.

L to R: Mr Pier Paolo Orazi & Mr Paul Hembery

Regional Director of ASEAN, Pirelli, Pier Paolo Orazi,gave us a brief insight of Pirelli's plans for the ASEAN region while Paul Hembery, the Motorsport Director of Pirelli talked about some of the tyre technology used for F1 races. He also spoke about the choice of tyres used for the Singapore F1 race: Pirelli's P Zero Yellow soft tyres and P Zero Red supersoft, given the unique and very technical Singapore street circuit with lots of twists and turns.

Mr Hembery also added that for the 2012 F1 racing season, the winning margins between the various racers are so close that the podium positions would boil down to drivers and teams who deploy the best tyre strategy to handle the challenging Singapore street circuit.

On location was a life-sized F1 car replica with Pirelli Tyres, of course.

This is about as close as one gets to an F1 car without actually going for the F1 event
